#sound

Sound is the most absorbent medium of all, soaking up histories and philosophical systems and physical surroundings and encoding them in something so slight as a single vocal quaver or icy harpsichord interjection. ↗

ブラジルには音楽があふれている。カフェに行けば、テーブルを何気なく指で叩いているお年寄りを見かけるし（それも信じられないような複雑なビートで叩く）、カーニヴァルが近づくころになると、リオの丘からはサンバのリズムが雷鳴のように轟く。バーに繰り出せば今度はギターが次から次へとまわされ、みんなが声をそろえて夜更けまで歌い興じる。古い歌だろうと何だろうと、彼らはブラジルの曲なら何でもそらで歌えてしまうのだ。 ブラジル人の心には常に音楽が宿っている。そしてブラジル人のしゃべる言葉、歩く腰つき、サッカーのドリブルなどなど、至るところにリズムが感じられる。[7ページ] ↗

To transform a grimace into a sound sounds impossible, yet it is possible to transform a vision into music, to go outside an enslaved personality, to become impersonal by transforming into sand, into water, into light. ↗

Health is the natural condition. When sickness occurs, it is a sign that Nature has gone off course because of a physical or mental imbalance. The road to health for everyone is through moderation, harmony, and a 'sound mind in a sound body'. ↗

Aerow creates a drawn out sense of pressure with the use of rather simplistic. Quite frankly, [the music] is fantastic. ↗

THE TRUTH OF THE VERY SMALL When he is born, a baby's head is filled with the knowledge of space. The circumference of his skull is as infinite as the twirlings of the universe. His eyes look out with the blur of eyes which see for all species. He has remembered his own nature from past patterns. Now his heart beats through rock, sky, oceans. He feels the silence and the sound all around the world beneath his skin. We all hold somewhere deep within us the truth we accepted in innocence. The seas, the forests, the soil, the atmosphere, are all vital parts of an ongoing system. By harming any part of it we must ultimately harm ourselves. It is that simple. ↗

We worked on solving the problem of voice communications in a noisy military environment. We established military codes that are highly audible and invented selection tests for personnel who had a superior ability to recognize sound in a noisy background. ↗

One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.' ↗
